White's "Game Changer"? Attempt A Monopoly On Truth
Gee, if you'd have been listening to Rap in '91, you would've known this stuff already
This is becoming sad. No, not that Michael Brown's mediated biography is turning into The Wrong Nigga To Fuck Wit - a role (you might notice above) blacks don't find unsympathetic - but that whites think criminality makes Brown's death at the hands of a police officer "a game changer." (They need the game to change so bad!)
Bowie told white people, and white people love them some Bowie
They don't get it, naturally, because (like with Benghazi) they're trying to defend against shadows and not cope with reality as blacks usually must. Here's one thing they ought to know by now:
THIS AIN'T NO GAME.
Where's that need for change being placed?
So, let's try this again (second time today):
Henry Davis, 52, was mistakenly arrested in Ferguson, Missouri, and, after the police realized it, they beat him up and charged him with destruction of property for bleeding on their uniforms.
Since there's no blacks to stop them - and this is an old American story - let's call this "white ethics in action" and please record blacks have no respect what-so-ever for them. Thank you.
Fear of white authority - and any love for it - was pretty much wiped out of blacks during slavery
Why has the "game" of white supremacy never demanded change from whites, white people? Why have whites never searched long and hard for the answer to eliminating it - as a crime - as they are for finding criminal intent in blacks? Where is the urgency? Whites know the answers, the sly dogs. Here's a hint:
"It's a beautiful day, isn't it?"
That statement - alone - is all it takes to allow most whites to let other Americans suffer. (Who has the time?)
Here's another game changer:
It's a mistake to think blacks are wrong not to be docile - whites are wrong to expect it
“When I was 18, I knew there were times when I was driving in my car and had to turn around. It needs to change. It’s gotta change today.”

Beck Doing David Bowie's Sound & Vision Is Atrocious
I was about as envious as an artist could get, right up until the actual song started, which is awful. A complete waste of an orchestra, this one. Even the stuff at the beginning isn't musically interesting, just a lark for the film editor.
I generally like Beck's work, he can't rap for shit but he's interesting, though this certainly isn't worthy of the over-arching adulation he receives. This is just too much.
Shit, I think I'm starting to understand privilege after watching this. Still, he does have some decently quirky material out there:
That Dust Brothers production can make anyone sound good,...

Fuck: He Missed
"You want the young AmericanYou ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Caddy and a lady's got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his Soul Train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man who can say "no more"?
Ain't there a woman I can sock in the jaw?"
-- David Bowie, in the song Young Americans, which just seemed right for this pitying story on model Sophie Anderton's recent troubles - notice how she's wrapped just-so, with even her glasses up, to expose her wounds? - in The Daily Mail.
Needless to say - since my divorce, immersion in NewAge feminist thought (I'm currently reading a very-confused, sneering, book, The Bitch in the House: 26 Women Tell The Truth About Sex, Solitude, Work, Motherhood, and Marriage) along with an equally-careful reading of the song lyrics I hear most often - this "Young American" has grown extremely skeptical of such stories.
Who knows what a woman will do, to drive a man to treat her as one man would another, when they act like unforgiving assholes? We don't - though there's ample proof feminists will lash out, engage in misandry, acts of betrayal (sexual and otherwise) and basically be a "bitch" (their word) for no good reason - except to hurt those closest to them. But, somehow, I'm asked to feel sorry for these people because they, maybe, got a fucking shiner in return? Sorry. Tell me the whole story, in context, or leave it out of the media:My sympathy for women as victims - and I did have some - is just about all used up.

Living Like There's No Tomorrow Is Just A Handy Way Of Discovering How There May Not Be One
"Even with the red flags raised on the investment, I struggled with turning down the investment opportunity. I was worried that my cautiousness was causing me to miss a great opportunity to earn lots of money. The product that Bernie Madoff had 'created' would have been as easy to sell as ice water on a hot summer day.After turning down the opportunity, I frequently encountered clients of Bernard Madoff. Most had the lion’s share of their assets invested with him. My suggestions to diversify their assets fell on deaf ears. Sadly, many Jews believed in Bernie Madoff more than they believed in God and were just as unlikely to forsake him."
-- Laura Goldman, bearing witness to the power of belief - and "living in the moment" - for Pajamas Media.

The Macho Response: Luna Tarlo
The Mother of God, by Luna Tarlo, relates the story of the author's three-and-a half years of harrowing spiritual bondage to her own son, Andrew Cohen, a well-known American guru. The book describes her travels in India, Europe, and the United States with Andrew and his earliest disciples, and reveals in stunning detail her parallel inner journey from loving observer, to slave-like disciple, to a final wrenching assertion of autonomy.This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the preservation of human dignity in the face of constant manipulation by the various "powers to be." It will be of particular interest to every individual who has ever been harmed by the influence of a guru and also to those individuals' greatly distressed families.
The abuse of power, the incessant fear, the psychology of obsession are all explored from an intimate perspective. Since brainwashing cults and their grandiose gurus are proliferating in this country and around the world, this book is not only a mother's lament, but also a finger pointing to the growing appeal everywhere of authoritarianism and absolutism.
Everyone should read that last sentence again - twice.
